Here it is folks, the first post to cristen the "Phillip's Songs" Blog. Each week(assuming that I remember) I will post one of my favorite music-related videos on this Blog. This will mostly mean old TV appearences of 60s groups(but others also like Tears For Fears) from old TV Shows such as Hullabaloo, Shindig, Shivaree, Where The Action Is, The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour, Top Of The Pops, Beat Club, and other clips from Local (and syndicated) American TV shows. Also these post will (ideally) include a short bio of the artist, a story related to the song, or at the very least a link to Wikipedia(this could include the former(s), but will include the later).
So without further ado, here is the first video to cristen the channel(after much internal debate):
It's the Hollies on SHINDIG! in 1965 playing "I'm Alive"
along with their most recogniseable song(at least at the time) "Just One Look", a cover of a song by Doris Troy.
Also, the Shindig! Dancers(Shindancers?) do some very 60s dancing throughout.
Also, I reserve the right to post much more often than once a week if I feel like I must share a new video that I've found.
